Indy 500 Tidbits

  • Medical update from Dr. Mike Olinger, IRL director of medical services: "Stephan Gregoire was released from Methodist Hospital today. Though he is feeling well and is experiencing only minimal pain, Stephan will not be cleared to compete in remaining Indianapolis 500 activities this month."

  • Beck Motorsports has named Alex Barron to drive the No. 98 CURB Records entry in the 91st Indianapolis 500. Barron, the 2002 Indianapolis 500 Chase Co-Rookie of the Year, has raced two IndyCar Series events this season with the team.

    GREG BECK (Owner, Beck Motorsports): "We're going to run Alex (Barron) today. Obviously, he's been in the car all year. He's the best choice for us. We got some things sorted out the last couple of days, and it will enable us to run. We're still working on sponsorship, but hopefully it will come. Alex will be running the Dallara, and we're going to go out this afternoon and run him and see where we are."
